In the new FME:23 Flow you have Deployment Parameter Store where you can have the same parameters but different values in different environments. Is the goal here to also use this as a store for "tokens to services" ? For instance if you have a secret token that you want to use but not expose - you can add it here? Or are there better ways to expose tokens between different workspaces and different FME Servers?


If the Deployment Parameter Store should also handle tokens - you should add a type token / password so you dont show that value in clear text.

I'm testing the deployment parameters for the moment and I agree you need an option to hide the value if you want to because you don't want to show 'secrets' in plain text. But sometimes it's useful to see the value right away for example url, database table.

It would also be handy that you can share the parameters directly in the deployment parameter store. In the current configuration you have to do it via user mamagement - items - deployment parameters.

Probably it will be a nice thing that you can organize the deployment parameters after a while when they are growing in numbers.

From a Cyber Security standpoint, having the ability to have a hashed value would be extremely useful!

In Local Government, we download up to 200 datasets a day from the States data provider.

 

Changing the Password on those individually can be a nightmare, but it needs to be done periodically.

Having the ability to manage this centrally from FME Flow would be a fantastic way and a huge tick box when it comes to Cyber Security as would then be able to change the password more frequently without the hassle of manually updating the parameter set in each and every workspace!
